Post your Speedtest.net Speeds!

Well they were charging us $40 with no TV over the last 3 year ( contract ), so we called them and they had no deals so we got Verizon and they cried we got deals we have deals and gave them the finger. Thing about Comcast they do not give a flying f about old customers ( over 12 years ), and on top of that the Verizon tec agreed and going by what he said they do not care about there workers either as he was on of them and Verizon pay a hell lot better even after traveling from another state.

Either way even if Comcast could give the same deal at the same price for even 300/10 ( they quoted $80 ), Verizon is 300\300 for $40, it's a no brainer how ever you look at it.
Yea, I pay $70 for 300/10. You are right they don't care. I might be switching
 
I think I can finally post in here, without crying my eyes out....
So, before speed -

Then I had an upgrade.....

Which I knew something wasn't right so I found that my 24 port HP switch had a dodgy port 1, so I re-ran the test again.....

And then I was smiling :D After a few Steam game downloads and a few more Speedtest checks, I called up my new ISP and they had a deal on and things got out of hand because I ended up with....

With a few games from Steam downloading I was over the moon with hitting over 118MB/sec download speeds... Just so happy right now :D
 
Looks like it took some time, but now I'm getting what I'm paying for and a little bit more, since it's supposed to be 200/50. Oddly enough, my ISP has dropped their 200Mbps option and decided to jack up the price of the 120/30 tier to the same price the 200/30 tier was at. That said, as we've been a long-time customer with them, we're paying less than 24/5, which makes no sense at all...

I'm assuming this is not a wifi connection...

Nope :) Don't use WiFi, tested it out with my phone and that was limited somewhat but only really use data connection so never really matters to me :)
 
Nice speeds there from EE (shocking!! lol) You might wish to edit or blank out your IP address tho ;) Nice ping too!!
 
Now i can also join the 1 Gigabit group. Just got it today. Now i have top get a Wifi-6 router as my old one now holds me back when using wireless.

Bay Of Plenty, offers a plenty amount of download and upload service. :D
considering I'm not in the Bay of Plenty it's nationwide here if you want Hyperfiber you can get 2000Mbps, 4000Mbps and 8000Mbpds all symmetrical and no data/speed caps
our national fiber is owned and operated by Chorus who then rents the lines out to every ISP here so there's no monopolistic practices unlike in the states

How much u pay over there? I pay $110/ month with ATT here.
$169 but that includes Router rental and a VOIP line without those it's be $149

Can't say I'm unhappy with that
Maaannnn, meanwhile in Australia xD

My ISP tried to moved me to a 250/25 plan back in early May but the private wholesaler that supplies my building refused to unlock that speed for my apartment building despite unlocking 1000/400 plans for the neighbouring building that shares the same basement and network infrastructure :( So I'm still stuck with 100/40 max speed plans.

Kudos to my ISP though for being very transparent during their passive aggressive communication with the wholesaler haha. I suppose the silver lining is that it has generally been very stable with pretty low latency compared to my friends in other parts of Sydney and I never get slow downs during peak usage times.

I'm paying $80AUD/month for this 100/40 unlimited plan.

Not much, but it's honest Internetting.

Currently on a 200/150 plan, but getting 1000/100 next week for half price for the first 12 months :)

In February this year I was doing over 500Mbps stable all hours of the day ...


Until my local ISP suddenly had a change of heart and starting to ruin my connection by moving me to another central where the peering was shit and I went down to about 200Mbps on a good run...


Several talks later and I met with they couldn't change me back but I could pay them like a fee of £12/15USD for them to give me a dedicated ip with a month charge of £4/5USD.

I complained and said fuck you I didn't ask for a change you fucked it up why do I have to buy more to get back to the central I was happy with that had good speed and peering?

I already pay you about £38/46USD a month for a unlimited 500/500Mbit fibre connect you choose to fuck up, so a couple of month in dealing with them I got a assigned a specific contact person he got me moved back to the original central and I only got about 280Mbps back...


I wrote about them on trustpilot and they basically told me check this website for internet and go screw yourself because they have now changed their prices and offers only 2 connects a 200/200Mbit for the £38/46USD I pay now and a 1000/1000Mbit for £47/57USD which they believe is better.

All and all I told them to go screw themself so I am downgrading to unlimited 300/60Mbit cable in about 17days for only about £23/28USD so I hope this will be a change so I can also save money because inflation has gone bad and everything gets even more expensive :kookoo:

That 's terrible I'd be complaining hard out about those poor speeds I'd be expecting atleast 300Mbps out of a 400Mbps connection

that's what being the only real high speed isp in all of the south does
